221.5 – feeling like a yo-yo!

This week, I’m going to see if I can group like subjects together. Since I haven’t surfed before I started writing these, there’s no telling where this will lead… and no, Blogrolling still isn’t working right.

It’s not too often that I get to write a post on Wednesday.

When I do, it’s going to be a good one, because I don’t want to fritter away the opportunity to share with ya’ll on a day that TMBWitW is normally working from home. However, this is close week and she (being an accounting type) needs to be at the office all week.

When I do post on a Wednesday, I look for something that I can really sink my teeth into. “machosauceproduction” is someone you should probably get to know. He comes from a large family of democrats and has somehow managed to [gasp!] think for himself.

While surfing this morning, I ran across this video that Cyber Pastor posted; I remember thinking to myself when I first saw this guy that I should dig into him a bit more, find out where he’s at. Well, I did that. The man is funny, and truthful. It pains liberals when people like him point out their own foibles, and that is reflected in some of the comments from the left.

Go on, check him out. You won’t regret it. Unless, of course, you happen to be a left-leaning weenie that can’t handle the truth…

On November 4th, 2008, three states (Arizona, California, and Florida) have propositions or amendments on the ballot defining marriage. These will be set in stone – no judge will be able to rule otherwise.

I am biased on this subject, as I believe that marriage should be defined (as it is in the Bible) as a union of one man and one woman.

Arizona’s Proposition 102 reads as follows: “Only a union of one man and one woman will be valid or recognized as a marriage in this state.” This would amend the state constitution. Currently, it is against the law in Arizona for same-sex couples to marry; this amendment would not allow reinterpretation of state law.

California’s Proposition 8 reads as follows: “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.” This would be in a new section (7.5) of Article 1, and would also not allow reinterpretation by judges in the future.

Florida’s Amendment 2 reads, in part, as follows: “In as much as a marriage is the legal union of only one man and one woman as husband and wife, no other legal union that is treated as marriage or the substantial equivalent thereof shall be valid or recognized.” This amendment will also prohibit judges from overturning this amendment as unconstitutional.

Skyline Church in San Diego, California, presented a series recently outlining the background of California’s Prop 8. Although it was taped and presented in California, the information is applicable to all three states. You can watch the series here.

I’m not going to quote chapter and verse of the Bible to sway your opinion on this matter. If you have read the Bible, and understand what God is saying through His Word, then I would be preaching to the choir; if you have already decided before you get to this sentence that I am a homophobe there is no changing your mind.

Let me get this straight: I am not scared of homosexuality. I am in fear for the souls of those who practice homosexuality unrepentantly after they have been shown the truth. Once you know the truth, and you continue to break God’s laws, then you have condemned yourself. I am not condemning you. God is. I am only letting you know what you have to look forward to. (your future, as an unrepentant sinner, involves eternal pain and a lake of fire)

Those of you in Arizona, California, and Florida: vote yes for marriage. Those of you outside these states: pray for us.

So – Friday, after the show, I’m ambushed by a whole line of things that need to be accomplished. In the process, I forget to make my customary Red Friday post, and for that I apologize to those who look forward to it.

Friday evening, I spend three hours on the waiting list for a cab. Never did get one. So, I went to the meeting at the Black Canyon Railroad instead, and had a good operating session.

Saturday was a yard sale at a friends house, and we put several items in the sale. Sold a few, but not all, and got some walking-around money.

Saturday evening I did get a cab, and had a good night overall. Found a nifty little back way into Wrigley Mansion, and the guards were good enough to let me up to the main entrance, even though no traffic was allowed since the shuttle was running for the charity event.

Sunday, after a short nap (about an hour and a half, on top of the hour nap I took Saturday afternoon) we went to church and, after church, met some friends at the Arizona Science Center to take in the Narnia exhibit (it was the last day). All in all, a very enjoyable exhibit. Being in the camp of people who would rather NOT do things in a crowd, I was feeling rather crowded. I did manage to ignore my gut reaction to RUN and stuck it out to see the costumes from the movie, as well as the props and some miniatures from the movie. Overall, a must-see when it is in your town. I particularly enjoyed the “ice throne” and remarked that I wouldn’t mind having one in my living room.

After the Science Center, we all went to Applebee’s for dinner. By that time, I was operating on 3 hours of sleep in the last 36 hours, and I was quickly running out of gas. I am told by a reliable source that I managed to fall asleep during lulls in the after-dinner conversation. The same reliable source decided (all by herself) that it would be better if she drove us home. I would have agreed, but had fallen asleep in the back seat after buckling MEG into her carseat.

How was your weekend?
